I don't care if you're playing in Yellowstone National Park, it was a moronic decision to send the runners. Even if Hanigan still K's you still have the tieing run up with Stubbs, (insert pinch hitter here) and the hottest hitter in the series Brandon Phillips due up. I'll take my chances with that over that terrible call to try and move non-tieing/leading run up 90 ft.

Stubbs was due up.

Sorry, I just don't see it. It's not like the time when Heisey f'd up and ran into an out from a surefire run. The Reds not scoring for 9 innings, a complete ballgame, after the 1st inning was unacceptable, trying to take an extra base is small potatoes.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Good thing Cozart bats at the top of the order, gotta get him more at-bats than anyone else on the team.
